Summary

The main focus of this course is on the description of molecular interactions defining the structure, dynamics and function of biological systems. The principal experimental and computational techniques used in structural biology will be introduced and practiced.

Practicals and projects will run in parallel to lectures to have a first hand experience on molecular visualization, X-ray crystallography, molecular modeling tools applied to protein structure prediction, biomolecular mechanics and dynamics, structure-based drug design.
